Trucker Training during Rush Hour

maybe they should be getting out the door a little earlier. The drivers need to learn how to deal with all traffic situations, not just the easy stuff. Get over it honey!

 

Well at least this schlep didn't bash truckers. learning how to drive during rush hour, and only doing 15 in a 55 zone? I'm surprized they weren't ticketed by a cop for creating a public nuisance.
At my school before we got anywhere near a populated zone we drove on the us hwy with a 65 mph speed limit. We took off and on ramps and controlled driving before getting to drive in city.
At first we just tooled around an industrial complex to get used to narrower streets and traffic. We did that for a week before they took us downtown or anywhere near the main traffic lanes.
A little common sense goes a long way.

 

we are assuming the student was the one driving...

 

How much traffic was involved in front of the truck.

Sounds to me like the 4 wheeler needs to leave a little earlier if a couple of minutes delay is going to make them late.

 

no doubt! back when i wasn't trucking i showed up to work at least 30 minutes early to drink coffee shoot the bull and "acclimate" myself

 

I used to get to work about 1 1/2 to 2 hours early in order to get things done before the employees got in and the stupid phone would ring.

 

i always took my dump on company time!!!!!????
